"River City Blackout" lyrics

Vacant nights, synthetic lights
Back where it started, no place left to
Go this time, the discount wine
Has clouded my mind, so I'll just have

One more drink and spill more ink
Let's raise a glass to burning bridges
Set's the same, the players change
So bundle up kid, now you can't go home

Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour
Step back, then light a match and close the door
I guess that's just River City for you

Step outside, watch cars collide
Just keep on moving, all in the past
Stop lights dark in Highland Park
I take a right, make footprints in new snow

Next year the skies look clear
An optimist like January
One weak smile, I've walked for miles
I check the time, turn, inhale deep and go

Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour
Step back, then light a match and close the door
I guess that's just River City for you

Take in the moonlight
Reflecting on strange times
As seen through famine-stricken eyes
Just try to walk on

Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour
Step back, then light a match and close the door
I guess that's just River City for you

Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour
Step back, then light a match and close the door
I guess that's just River City for you
